Are you getting just a blank screen or some sort of error notice?

Errors like this usually clear in a matter of hours. If all else fails:

- Refresh (F5) your page
- Check to see your Flash player needs to be updated
- Clear your cache and cookies

Playing the waiting game might be the better option if problems precisest.

a BLACK and EMPTY screen means your Cache, Memory or PageFiling are filled-up
and can't take any more -- or you may have conflicting ''cookies''.  Simply delete your
Cache, Cookies and History; then clear your Memory with a shutdown & fresh reboot.
Afterwards, you'll freak at how good and trouble-free your YouTube will be.

Don't forget to completely shutdown & reboot afterwards.

Other possibilities + solutions:
-- Right-click any video, click "Settings" and uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration".
-- Disable any Adblock add-on, play a video; then re-enable the Adblock the next day.
-- There might be a Player conflict -- (like with Real Player, Pepperflash or Shumway)
   If that's the case, disable/uninstall it, and when you'd like it back, simply reinstall it.
-- Disable your AV utility while on YouTube, since you can't get a virus from YouTube.
-- You may unknowingly be using ''HTML5'' rather than "Flash''. To be sure, click here
